Google Releases Top 2008 Search Results – "Fastest Rising"

by Bill Baker on December 20, 2008 · 0 comments  |  Google

Some the searches that I found myself looking up this year that made the list were jeremiah wright, sarah palin, hockey mom, joe the plumber, william ayers and lipstick pig. As you might be able to tell, I’m a political junkie.

Google defines “Fastest rising” as the most popular searches conducted for the first 11 months of 2008 and ranked them based on how much their frequency increased compared to 2007.
